Quite possible bro Evangelical. I read it and didn't get any demon. Still the elders frowned upon me reading it.
You can thank Jessie Penn-Lewis for the book ; the Jezebel that killed the Welsh Revival. She taught that born again believers can be possessed by demons. She thought at least some of the phenomena of the Welsh Revival was the work of Satan.
But after learning what she did to Evan Roberts I wondered if she herself had one, or maybe seven like Mary of Magdala..
And then, after learning of Nee's sexual promiscuity, I wonder if he had one.
Demons here, demons there, demons everywhere. You can't even be a whole person, of flesh, soul, and spirit, without being possessed by demons. And I thought Jesus had power over them, and protected his followers from them.
I guess at the time of reading the book my faith in Jesus kept me from becoming possessed ... maybe my ignorance protected me.
Either that, or the demons had no interest in me. I am a difficult fellow. As you surely know by now. So I'm no stranger to rejection. I feel hurt that the demons didn't want me. What's wrong with me?
Then again, what do I know about demons? Satan never wrote a book. I guess the Satanic Bible came close. I read that too, before the LC, and wrote and did an oral speech on it in college. Maybe that inoculated me from the demons in The Spiritual Man.
What protected you bro Evangelical? Question. If you don't believe in Satan does that make you an atheist?
